Some welcoming words and a gift of a sailor's snood to all those Junior sailors taking part in the 2022 / 2000 Class National Championships at Castle Cove SC Weymouth this week, presented by Sailing Secretary Rob Burridge.

Rob Burridge's four years in the post have been wrapped, soaked and marinated in initiatives to introduce young sailors into the sport in the 2000, and his plans have been enormously successful. These youngsters are showing their transoms to most of the old salts this week!
